Geek Girl Dinner in Brisbane 28 August wrap-up!

Brisbane's first geek girl dinner was hosted by Bronwen and myself on Thursday the 28th of August at Caravanserai Restaurant at Highgate Hill. A great time was had by all which leads us to conclude that our first dinner was a huge success! About 25 people attended, a couple of guys came along but they did come with a geek girl (that is the rule!).

Very impressive was Tim, who wore a skirt for the occasion! Amanda (who works with Tim at Spy Journal) wrote a great blog post about the event. And their great photos are here. 

Bronwen's post is here. If you would like to be kept up to date with geek girl dinners in Brisbane, either join our facebook (Geek Girl Dinners Brisbane) or contact us here.

We are now planning our next dinner for the 23rd October, once we decide on a location, we will let you know! Look forward to seeing you all again.

Tracey in the Australian talking about the skills shortage

A great article was published on Saturday about the skills shortage and attempts in Qld particularly to address it. Our author Tracey was a key person in delivering the 2008 Diversiti Hiring Influence Report. Well done Tracey and thanks for mentioning the book! :)

More on Google

One week to go, I now have details of all of the other finalists from across Australia and NZ, and also the agenda for the days in Google, it looks like such a great program. I can't wait to meet everybody!

There is a great YouTube vid about the retreat in Europe which gives insight into what the whole experience is about, and you can read the press release for last year's retreat here. So very excited!
